Chin mounting the Hero 7 is the best method.

[@lezee2545]

The scenery was gorgeous. And I loved the elegance of the barrel roll at 16:03!

[@adrianeinarsson1172]

You’ve definitely got the best mtb/vlog channel

[@MrtinVarela]

18:04 I love how all the droplets were hilariously unobtrusive by only splashing on the edge of the frame, almost like a videogame.

[@PeeeeGeeeeTM]

This just proved why Madeira is on my wishlist, thanks for the vlogs guys!

[@ryantetrault9696]

Sick video Ry! As a photographer, it must've been so hard to keep riding in some spots and not set up and take some sick shots for a while. That cliff lookout is nuts! Beauty vid as always man🤘🤘

[@daveczir4146]

First video I saw of yours was back when you rode the Rocky Mountain Altitude for the first time.... been hooked ever since! Awesome ride/video as usual.

[@workhorsemtb7075]

Love watching this process. You make great videos. Thanks

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! They’re a ton of fun to make.

[@danielwackerman7749]

Hey Loam, Stellar trip, well done! We're all stoked in anticipation for Leo's input on the Pole lineup! Would you ever put a 11 or 12 speed cassette on that DH you were riding? Ya know, to avoid those bike-walks? I've always wanted a 200mm travel XC bike to eliminate the skipped sessions on features you find along the ride. Pole's geo pedals so well that it's opening up the 'Quiver-killer' bike category. Perhaps that DH with a full "cassette-up" could be that for some of us.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! A DH bike that can pedal *extremely* well and tackle pretty much any obstacle... that sounds like the Stamina to me :) Seriously though, that bike (from the time I've been on it) is a true quiver killer. It's crazy. polebicycles.com/stamina/

8:48 Watch for wildlife!

[@davidegiovannini5803]

Crazy trail! I hope to gol there! You opened up a world for me🤙🏻

[@michaelwiens5713]

awesome video as always! Madeira looks amazing, for sure a bucket list type of thing on my list! those cliff looked stunning, i would ahve barely been able to focus. Also stoked to see your footage on the new bike! you seemed to have a big crew so I didn't introduce myself. but I was one of of the 3 guys who dropped into Aunt Flow ahead of you when you were at moose! Just uploaded a clip from that ride, I am sure your footage will put mine to shame!

[@kbutterfly1696]

You did so well! Amazing! I loved your video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@AdventureMuse]

What an epic place, and amazing views. keep crushing it! 👊

[@travishatfield331]

This is by far my favorite video as of late.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks man!

[@tamserenity]

That looked so Awesome!

[@raghavendrashekhawat3249]

Just 19 mins and 171 views awesome. Really nice to see you have fun. 😃

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Have always wanted to go there!! Beautiful there

[@Tttttttyson]

That looks epic wish I could go there!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Make a plan and make it happen!

[@nickwooden2103]

Best views ive seen from a trail. Epic!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Agreed!

[@scottcrawford7540]

Looks like a amazing place to ride. Excellent video!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! It definitely was.

[@Heiserton]

I'm deployed to Italy right now, and spent the first 2 days in the ER because of an antibiotic rejection.....turns out I had hand/foot/mouth disease also. Down for a few days before everything started to clear up. Feel your pain dude.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

That was an amazing series, so cool. Exotic location, new bikes and beautiful scenery, oh yea and some bike riding too! Looking forward to more!

[@JamesStoup]

Madeira looks so rad dude.

[@fromxctoletssee]

super cool man. yea riding above your normal comfort zone spikes the adrenaline levels. makes you all shaky and skittish. super place to learn to ride like a demon. thanks for the adventure

[@TheLoamRanger]

Totally. I was pretty terrified in some moments haha. Words can’t describe those trails...

[@daverichardson6334]

Talk about exposure, HOLY CRAP!!

[@josephplunkett3337]

its quite cool to see the fork moving

[@grantfeddema5332]

That place is awesome Ryan!!

[@Dominationindustries]

Wholesome. Very wholesome.

[@baileydelivera7613]

Sup my dude, another great vid

[@thim8009]

I'm curious about a high quality aluminum frame just wondering how it compares to a carbon frame, like stiffness, how it absorbs terrain , ect. I owned a 6000 series aluminum bike a while back and owned the same carbon version and the carbon felt better

[@craigjones2927]

Is Madeira pretty much all shuttle trails or are there any areas where you pedal up too? I know about the Freeride Madeira guys, but what do locals do to ride those trails? I can’t imagine that they go with Freeride Madeira every day . Is it possible to self shuttle the trails in Madeira with an E-MTB? I’m asking you all these questions because I inow you’re an Albertan too and probably have some perspective on what I’m asking. My wife & I are looking hard at Madeira as a place to move to.

[@wylyy]

looks like so much fun

[@TheLoamRanger]

Scary fun haha

[@FatGuyBiking]

Amazing filmwork the cinema grading is awesome even with the clicking (jk) something I aspire to as a creator!

[@capstone399]

Loam, how did you do wind noise reduction on the Hero 7? I remember your video on the Hero 4 back in the day where you stayed away from upgrading to H5 due to difficulties with the microphone(s).

[@capstone399]

8:00, nevermind, haha! I've resorted to sticking mini deadcats all over my H5. Guess I'll have to keep that up.

[@capstone399]

Omg, 9:18. Sorry for commenting as I'm watching the video!

[@blakeashdown]

Great video, Madeira looks amazing. I recently got a hero 7 and used your setting for your hero 4, but it came out pretty grainy. Any ideas? I feel like it might be my computer not being able to render it well.

[@garymel9247]

The Hero5 and up suck as far as sound quality, I have the 5 black and all i hear is the motor from my gimbal, they do make a mic extension to add a seperate mic but I haven't tried it yet and it's bulky so not sure if it would interfere with a ginbal.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Agreed. That’s why I’ve always stuck with my Hero4 Black. I’ve also tried the external mic option with the 7 and wasn’t super impressed with that either 🙄

[@thim8009]

Would it be possible to smear just enough silicone on strap to deaden noise. Put some on then let it dry dont snap together it will glue together. Hoping you could give me an honest answer about that 7000 series aluminum frame vs. A carbon one. Anyways a journey of a lifetime pretty awesome and enjoy.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I ended up putting a strip of tape in the clip which deadend the noise. As for the frame material, what was your question?

[@azdirtlife4280]

I ditched my gimbal for the Hero 7. I think when you have tested it out more you will like it.

[@AB-fh9zh]

I recently got mine, but do nothing as extreme as this. I'm amazed at how that came out without a gimbal, clicking and angle aside. Hypersmooth is one fine piece of coding.

[@docd7779]

Brave guy - wet rocks galore and no gloves!

[@StanislavBozhanov]

So are you switching to Hero 7 black or going back to Hero 4 black with Gimble or maybe Hero 7 black with no stabilization on and Gimble?

[@TheLoamRanger]

I’m trying out a few different combos at the moment. They all have their pros and cons.

[@Nur.die.Wade.zaehlt]

Madeira has some awesome trails and views to offer. If you don't want to get sick next time you have to drink more Poncha ;-)

[@Erik-ti3sp]

It bothers me when rocks are left on trails when they add no more to the trail than a speed bump

[@imronaldo1864]

Nossa amei seu video! Like a boss!

[@simonyakopatros3473]

What happened to your blue bike because i was used to see that bike so please bring back the blue bike loam ranger

[@TheLoamRanger]

You should be seeing more of the blue Evolink 140 next week!

[@simonyakopatros3473]

The Loam Ranger thanks dude you are the best in the world a true living legend god bless from your best friend from sweden

[@romanslavo1]

The GoPro Hero 7 Black doesn't perform good without gimbal. Stabilization is useful only in stable light conditions.

[@ramdynebix]

Once I’ve saved up enough, my next bike will probably be a Pole. I blame you :-)

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha oops 🙈

[@malachiturnbull940]

Hey lomie you gotta read this, I know how to fix your problem I just got the gopro7 and I think the same chest mount that you have I had the same problem with the clicking but I fuigeried out how to fix it! this is how: i took the gopro off the chesty, unclipped it and got some hocky tape tore it into a strip about 1/4 inch wide and about 1, 1/2 inches long anyways, I taped it to the middle clip at the base and pinched it up against the edge (I had some trouble getting it clipped on the first time but the 2nd time was way much easier) anyways because of the hockey tape it stopped clicking around and rides smoothly:) contact reply to me if you have any questions Bye for now;-) -A fellow subscriber and mountain biker-

[@HowToGetMoreMetal]

Hero 7 makes the trail look so flat it damn near looks like your going up when going down. I wish they would figure this out. The sony captures the angle better but looks worse.

[@CaptainBugey]

You've found the dream spot for every man who need to take a pee at 15:06.

[@TheLoamRanger]

It was the clip for the GoPro chesty strap. I wasn’t even wearing a pack for this ride! Lesson learned (the hard way)

[@CaptainBugey]

@@TheLoamRanger in the meanwhile, I changed my comment because I saw the answer 3 minutes further in the video. Today's lesson is " match the whole video first, comment later "

depends on the wind i guess :D

Hi

[@nsteen1711]

The quality of the GoPro looks bad. The normal GoPro looks better in my opinion. Also no dropper post?
